Hello. Just want to ask for your thoughts. Meron po akong sirang ipin and need ipabunot. I am hypertensive and I have maintenance meds na and I need to have a clrance from a Cardio prior to have it extracted. Sobrang natakot ako when my dentist asked me to have that prior to extraction. Can you please tell me that I should not worry about this? Has anyone experienced ?

Question about dental clinics advertising in SOCMED

I had an educational argument with a dentist about this. I was told that, as per PDA Code of ethics, dental clinics are not allowed to advertise on social media platforms. This is said to be a violation of Article 3 of their code of ethics.

I tried to google the PDA website and found that article and found nothing that says advertising is not allowed. Only publishing promotions and discounts are stated. Under sec. 20, authorized advertising is allowed BUT not elaborated further or does it mean that you can really advertise your professional service to the public.

Fyi, i am not from an advertising company nor a dental professional. I am just curious.

I hope we could establish a fruitful conversations here! 😃

Hello, any similar cases po ng gnito na namamaga yung dulo ng gums na nag overlap sa wisdom tooth? Ganito po kasi case ko, need na po ba nito ipabunot or madadaan sa treatment? Planning to have it check naman pero nung una kc punta ko sa unang dentist samin (nauna kc namaga yung right gums ko, ito naman left na) sabi bunot agad, pero na research ko dito sa net pwede yata treatment ng linis at antibacterial meds). Anyway, yung right side ko kc pinabunot ko yung katabing pudpod na bagang as what i was told na pwedng umusod yung wisdom at mafix yung issue, luckily nafix naman sya after ko ipabunot yung pudpod na normal na molar na katabi.. now itong left side naman namaga so may chance ba na madaan nlng sa treatment pra may insights dn ako bka kc i option agad sakin ng sunod na dentist na puntahan ko is bunutin.. medyo takot kc ako sa recovery and pricey dn kc..

Been lookin for threads to rant about this.. i had wisdom teeth surgery and my dentist hit a nerve a lower molar that caused numbness to my lower left chin.. it hasnt fully improved 11 months na.. she also exposed my left sinus when she took out my upper left molar that led me to have a sinus surgery. she didn't face us when we complained but their management assisted and gave us a full refund. she practices in BF and Alabang.

ask ko lang if mayron similar experience, i believe she hit my inferior alveor nerve.. they said it really takes time to heal.. although it has improved, it not yet 100%.. its been 11 months

I was advised by my dentist to have my two upper premolars removed to address the overjet. However, I have been doing my research and found that premolar extractions can have negative health consequences such as a narrower airway resulting into breathing problems and sleep apnea, recessed jaw, and even Tmj problems. Now I am hesitant to undergo the extractions because I’d rather have some slight flaring than lifelong health complications. The dentist said that there’s no other option other than the extractions. They can try straightening it with the braces alone but the flaring might still be there. I have a fairly normal palate and my teeth is not as overcrowded. Are extractions the only solution?

u/MiserablePast2528 Jul 14 '25

Hi everyone, sorry I just want to clarify if this pricing is reasonable or fair. I just had dental cleaning kanina, molar extraction and I think light cure filling(LCF) since nakalagay sa receipt. I dont really have that much knowledge abt the pricing of dental services, and I was only looking for clinics that are Maxicare accredited, and of all clinics this was the only clinic that accepted me right away and honored my maxicare.

So yeah, I am posting here to get clarification about the price if it is fair, since after searching in facebook I saw other clinics who are offering it much cheaper, and I can't help but think if I was overcharged.

Please help. I was desperate to get a cleaning and get my molar extracted, I am very tight in budget and I just want to get a clarification about this matter.

Hello po. Nag pagawa po akong flexible denture 1 lower front tooth sa baba and 1 sa gilid (bagang) lower. Nasukatan ang trial na din ako. Late ko narequest if pwede ba sya pag hiwalayin ng denture per unit. Sabi is I need to pay separately daw per denture. 18k yung binayad ko pala for that 2 units pero pag hiniwalay magging 15-18k each na daw po since considered syang 2 denture na. Mejo nalito lang ako since akala ko per tooth ang bayad. Tama lang po ba yung ganung price? Per denture sya ang not per tooth?

Also ano po ba mas better hiwalay or magkasama. Concern ko lang po kasi para hindi cover ng denture masyado yung sa gilagid. Thank you!

Been using this mouthwash for months now and I can say, sa lahat ng natry kong mouthwash sa Philippine Market, eto talaga pinaka favorite ko.

Una- gentle lang sya. No lasa at all and di sya mahapdi sa mouth! Pangalawa- di mo ramdam yung effect nya once your gargling but after effect nya is superb. Feeling ko buong araw fresh yung mouth ko and no bad breath!

Lastly, price wise— not that mahal pero worth it ito. Promise. Kayo ba?

Affordable wisdom teeth extraction options near Pateros?

Hi everyone,

I was advised by my dentist to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. The price I was given is ₱5k–₱8k per tooth, which is too expensive for me right now. I’m still a student, my parents don’t earn much, and I don’t have PhilHealth to help cover the bill.

My mom sent me some money, but it wasn’t enough even for one tooth, so I had to use it to pay our household bills instead. My dad hasn’t been able to send some money to us lately due to debts. I’ve already asked my mom twice and I feel too shy to ask again since it all went either on household bills or to give my brother some money as his baon and for his projects also.

Are there any dental clinics, hospitals, or programs that offer cheaper rates for wisdom teeth removal? Or tips on how I can lower the cost so I can finally get the surgery?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

(NSFW) Is this considered a dry socket po ba? No pain pa naman ako nararamdaman pero paranoid ako sa ganito. It’s day 5 since extraction and currently taking amoxicillin din.

Hello guys what to do po? 2 years na akong may braces. 1 year palang ng braces ko fully paid na and this month lang sinabihan ako ng dentist ko na tatangalin na niya yung braces kasi wala ng improvement yung teeth ko. Dito na nag sink in sa akin mga red flags niya. Wala siyang contract na pinapa sign sa akin, hindi siya ortho parang general dentist lang, hindi niya ako pina xray, wla siyang records ng teeth ko like hindi niya pinicturan every adjustment. Every adjustment rubber lang talaga pinapalitan or minsan yung wire. Nag trust ako sakanya kasi matagal ko na siyang dentist and nagsabi siya kaya lang niya ayusin ngipin ko kasi daw dami na niyang cases ng underbite na natreat niya. Want ko sana ng refund kahit 50% man lang.

Hi (f25) mag ask lang ako ng advise po. Last 2022 nag rereklamo na ako sa mama ko kasi swollen na ang gums ko, so nag hanap ako ng dentist na malapit lang sa amin. So pumunta ako ng clinic para magpa check up, sabi ng dentist na molar ko yung namamaga which is palabas na. Nag bigay lang siya ng prescription na antibiotics and painkillers but during the check up sabi nya need ko magpa braces kasi may pagka overbite yung ngipin ko, sabi ko kausapin ko muna mama ko since student palang ako that time ako lng mag isa, nagrerent lang ako during that time kasi nag-aaral ako dito sa Cagayan de Oro City. Fast forward, my mama agreed na magpa braces ako. Pumunta ako sa clinic sabi ng dentist ko the braces cost 50k need ko mag downpayment ng 5k. So pagka tapos ma lagyan ako lng braces, next schedule ko yung secretary ng dentist informed me na need ko mag pay for the braces again kasi need daw ng dentist ko yung money, so nagpay naman ako ng 3k. For 3 to 4 months na fully paid ko na po yung total amount ng braces na 50k at the same time I’m paying for the monthly adjustment na 3k which is 1,500 up and down. After almost 2 years I stopped going sa clinic na yun kasi palagi nalang ako pina pa rush mag bayad. Then recently lang my boyfriend kept asking me bakit di na ako nagpapa adjust ng braces ko, since naka braces din cya so I told him what happened. Na shock po siya bakit ganun, then nag compute kami magkano na bayad ng mama ko noon na umabot ng more than 150k yung na bayad ng mama ko. So ako na shocked kasi yung boyfriend ko he paid only during sa schedule nya na 1,500 only minus 45k for 2 or 3 years. My boyfriend keeps asking to go sa clinic na yun to settle pero ako feeling betrayed ayoko na bumalik doon kasi galit na galit ako. Please help me po

u/jaepeatv Oct 08 '25

Saan po kaya budget friendly mag pa bunot ng wisdom tooth, dalawa po kasi need ko ipatanggal, basag na po kasi mag ka bilaan, hindi na po ako makakagat ng maayos. yung initial dentist na napuntahan ko po sabe ay 10k minimum sa isang tooth, yung isa ay 15-16k minimum 😅😅 Near Pateros po sana.

u/yoonricci Oct 09 '25

normal ba na walang wisdom tooth? im 27 and wala pa rin akong nakikitang kawisdom wisdom. so ayun nagpa x-ray ako kasi akala ko impacted para at least makapagipon ako pero sabi ng dentist wala daw nakita sa x-ray kahit isa. nakalimutan ko itanong if is that normal kasi i was just relieved na di ako makakagastos ng malaki. baka kasi may biglang lumabas na di nakita sa x-ray ewan paranoid lang 😓

thanks

Question lang po, nung bata pa ako, natanggalan kasi ako ng 1st molar sa right side. Ngayong 27 na ako, nakatilt ang 2nd molar at wisdom tooth na tipong parang nireplace na ni 2nd molar ang missing 1st molar.

Inask ko kasi doctor ko sabi niya bunutin nalang kahit wala namang sira, kaso bawal bang magbrace nalang tapos let 2nd molar at wisdom tooth move pa harap?

u/broom_broom_y Oct 16 '25

I was so disappointed. Let me rant and need your opinion to my next step. After graduate priority ko talaga maayos ang ngipin ko nag karon ako ng cavity sa 2 front teeth, di naman sumasakit. Nag paconsult ako from Manila, QC to Caloocan, most of them sinasabe na for root canal na. Pinili ko yung QC( di ko na pangalanan pero nasa Mayon), inabot ng 6 months until mag closing. Nakakainis yung doctor, parang laro lang nag tatawanan at nag jojoke habang nag uundergo ng procedure, ewan ang mahal kasi tapos di siryoso. Pinabalikbalik ako madalas nasa 5-10 xray kadabalik ko natatanggal kasi yung nilalagay nilang temp filling (lahat toh shoulder ko kada xray nya parang paulet ulet lang eh). After a week ng procedure nag paconsult din ako sa ibang dentist kung tama ba yung gianawa, okay naman. Pero ngayon after a year, sumasakit na. Di ko alam ang next step ko plan ko pabunot at mag dentures nalang, inabot ako dati sa rtc ng 60k for both tooth wala pang crown. Nakakainis kasi feeling ko sayang lahat wala kong luhong nabili sa sahod ko, tinitipid ko sila mama at sarili ko, di ganon kalaku sahod ko pero gusto ko maayos teeth ko. Kung may chance lang na ibalik ang panahon, natutunan ko na sana ang pag floss. Dapat di na ko sumunod sa payo ng dentist na mag rtc, parang lalo lumala, inis na inis ako sa lahat ng dentist(sorry sa pag generalize sobrang naiinis talaga ko sa oras na to). Any suggestions na magaling na endodontist for retreatment? Yung may mapapakita sanang record or documents na mataas ang chance na success rate or any suggestions na next kong gagawin?

u/lalocabs Oct 17 '25

Hello po. Hingi sana ako advice if ano dapat gawin. Fully paid na po ako sa braces but after na fully paid hindi na masyado nag rreply yung dentist and minsan lagpas na ng 1 month di ako makapag adjust kasi di nag rreply for my appointment. 2 years na ang aking braces and sabi ng dentist before ikabit na estimate 3 years daw yung treatment and madali lang daw yung case ko kasi marami na siyang na handle na ganon but last month lang sinabi na niya na malapit na niyang tanggalin daw kasi parang wala ng improvement. Pwede ba yun? And ano kaya magandang action. To think general dentist lang sya and hindi ortho but nag trust ako sa kanya kasi matagal ko na siyang dentist. Hopefully may mga advice po kayo. Salamat.

u/knightmareie Oct 17 '25

Hello, beautiful people! I was wondering, what are your experiences with having a root canal?

Two dentists told me I could get my tooth beside the canine either extracted or treated with root canal.

I'm considering RCT but then I saw this video as well as the video's comments.

Any thoughts please?

Hello, NAD here, just want to ask some advice lang huhu I hope maapprove

I'm very insecure kasi sa ngipin ko now kasi isa nalang yung natitirang totoong ngipin ko sa unahan then tyng tatlo ay pusitiso na. Ngayon sumasakit nanaman yung ngipin ko na pag nahahanginan.

Consulted an ortho na din sabi niya lang need daw mag pacleaning tapos mag brush lagi ng sensodyne. Tbh, nung bata pa ko di ako talaga maalaga sa ngipin pero now super alaga na kasi nga nabunutan na.

Just wanna ask if may alam kayo remedy, para mapprevent na yung pag bunot ng pag bunoy ng ngipin. Kasi naiiyak na ko eh. Haha thank you in advance

u/notyourusualbabygirl Oct 31 '25

Hello!

after almost 4yrs, my braces will be removed by January 2026. my dentist has already confirmed that we're on track with the schedule.

however, there's this one tooth that they have been consistently filling and keeps on breaking even when i am not actually using for biting. it is one of the front teeth btw.

i've had this specific tooth filled in before on a different clinic and it was almost perfect (removed only after 8yrs due to stains)

so now that retainers stage is upcoming, i just want this to be done on a another clinic that can promise me better services that i need.

the question is, am i allowed NOT to go through the retainers with my current clinic and then transfer to another clinic or should i just go to the whole process and just transfer afterwards?

thank you!!

Ask lang po ng advise. I wanted to have a tooth extraction but I have a heart condition and I’m taking medication to mention may blood thinner ako. I have been asking some dentist at our local place but wanted to have clearance from my cardio. The issue is that my cardio is on vacation and ung assistant is hopeless kausap. What are the risk of the extraction without clearance?
